Alix Earle and her boyfriend Braxton Berrios have plenty to celebrate on the first day of NFL free agency.

Earlier today, Berrios agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Houston Texans. The 29-year-old wide receiver/kick returner spent the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, but played in only six games in 2024 before suffering a torn ACL.

Earle is currently in Paris for work, but she found time to post her reaction to her boyfriend's new contract in a reel on Instagram. The 24-year-old influencer, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and entrepreneur posted footage of her Zoom call with Berrios breaking the news.

As the background music for the clip, Earle chose Beyonce's "TEXAS HOLD 'EM."

"Braxton got the call today he will be playing for the Houston Texans this next year!" Earle wrote. "So incredibly proud & CANT WAIT to see what this next year brings."

Earle and Berrios have both lived in Miami during the last two NFL seasons, though they each have their own place.

It remains to be seen if she'll move with him to Houston or split her time between South Florida and Texas. She certainly has the money to make the situation work.

Since going public with their relationship in 2023, Berrios and Earle have been consistently supportive of each other's careers publicly. When Berrios went down with his season-ending knee injury, Earle shared a heartfelt message on social media.

"It's crazy how things can change in a matter of seconds...especially seeing how much hard work you put into the game not only physically but mentally," she wrote. "Day in and day out you inspire me and I have no doubt that you will be back and better in no time. Proud to be by your side and cheer you on. I love you."

Hopefully Berrios is fully healthy and able to make the Texans' roster this summer.
